Not just the US. There are many nations in many sports that could take a leaf out of the Japanese book. Respect for opposition (players and fans) has virtually disappeared.
I started to watch Japan's games because of Nootbar (here a Cards fan), but now I do it because I truly admire this team, they're amazing not only due to their skills, but also their attitude. Their incredible fans, too. Also Japanese football (soccer) team was a great example to others in the past world championship. So much inspiring! I hope Japan win this WBC 💟
Did you know that Nootbar is very popular in Japan as well? Because he plays hard and works hard with his teammates to help the Japanese team win. Rather than winning or losing, the Japanese place more importance on "Are you making an effort" and "Are you working hard?" Of course, manners are also important. He satisfies all of these requirements and actually produces results. Furthermore, he attracts people with his charming personality. The Japanese team recently played against the Czech Republic, and we was able to feel their passion and joy in playing pure baseball. Overnight, the Japanese public fell in love with the Czech Republic team. Even Shohei Ohtani posted a picture of them on Instagram with the caption “Respect”. I was able to get to know Nootbar and the Czech Republic team, and I think this is the best part of international matches.
I am Japanese. Nootbaar is very popular in Japan now. Defensively full of fighting spirit, good batting, running bases with all his might, and a cheerful and friendly personality. He is now an integral part of the Japanese national team. It's hard to go back to America after the WBC is over. I love nootbaar because he has a really good personality. I'm worried that he might get hurt by being too enthusiastic about the WBC.
@@megg734 I absolutely agree with you! I got to know the rest of the Japanese team (I only knew Nootbar and Ohtani before this WBC), as well as the Czech Republic, and it's being amazing. I'm from Spain and here people know nothing about baseball (I played it for many years thanks to South Americans who live here), I imagine it's the same in the Czech Republic, so it's impossible not to admire them, since it's not precisely easy what they've achieved. And, of course, it's impossible not to enjoy teams like Japan, where baseball is played with true passion and fantastic values. I wish you all the best 😊
@@lethalweapontom I understand what you mean, it's difficult not to be worried about that, but if he weren't with the Japanese team now he'd be in the Spring Training and he could get hurt anyway. He always plays with a lot of passion because he simply enjoys baseball. So as far as I see it, if there's always that risk, I prefer that he takes it by playing in the WBC with Japan. It's obvious that he's having so much fun, he's really happy and he has many real possibilities of winning the championship. Japan deserves it. 😊 Greetings from a Cardinal fan in Spain!
That moment where the crowd passed around Ohtani's home run ball was incredible to watch. Nothing like that could ever happen in America! This is the beauty of the WBC!
Pretty sure Japan has a rule that fans aren't allowed to keep homerun balls or foul balls for themselves and usually a staff/security member comes around to retrieve the ball. Thus they pass it to each other to take pics and then hand it over. The only exception of this rule is if the fielder intentionally tosses the ball into the crowd. Edit: apparently you can keep homerun balls nowadays but not foul balls
But guys, these people in the crowd are sick, they are passing a ball around taking pictures of it while having masks on their faces ! What is this world we're living in, people even commentating about saying it's the right way to do things. As robots maybe !
the world baseball classic has reignited my love for the game of baseball. I'm an angels fan and I was devastated when arte moreno announced he wasn't selling the team, because the angels will probably continue to be terrible and ohtani will likely leave after this season. but watching this tournament has been so fun, it's been so nice to actually feel joy from baseball again
I can feel your pain as a reds fan some days I hope a meteor hits the owners box. Not that it would hit anyone as the owner's box is as empty as the rest of the stadium
Minasian made sufficient offseason moves to strengthen the team to make one more playoff push though. Trout has said he wants to be a lifetime Angel, so he won't leave. But if the Halos goes deep in the playoffs, Ohtani might stay given how the organisation is willing to accommodate him with a 6 pitcher rotation. Few other organisation will do that, certainly not most contenders.
That is because unlike the Americans, their best players care more about winning for their country than for a professional club. For them the biggest achievement is to be WORLD Champions with their national team. Then their second biggest achievement is to win the MLB world series. Not the other way around.

Yamamoto plays at ease. Even I feel pleasant watching his game. I understand why he is the best pitcher in Npb. He's ace of aces. I'm sure we can see him in Mlb next year. He looks cute and innocent as babies^^

Yeah, his best pitch was his worst pitch when he left it hanging like a personal invitation for Ohtani to blast it out of the park. We'd been waiting for an Ohtani bomb, and the Australian pitcher served it up. No longer the sheriff in town.
As a Cardinals fan, I have so many teams to cheer for this WBC. Noot (and Shohei, even if he's not a Cardinal... yet), Arenado and Goldschmidt, I had Edman with Korea for a bit... fun stuff all around.
O’Neil Canada, also Waino and Mikolas team USA, Gallegos Mexico, Pallante Italy, Genesis Dominican Republic there are so many also we have some of our minor league guys on rosters too
Japan looking unstoppable at this point. USA and Dominican Republic were seen as the other best teams going in, and DR lost to Venezuela, US struggled against Great Britain. Gonna be a surprise if anyone but Japan wins it all.
If you ever visit Japan, attending a pro baseball game is a must. I had the good fortune of seeing a Hanshin Tiger's game at Koshien Stadium in Osaka. When the home team is up to bat, everyone is on their feet singing and chanting the batter's designated song the entire time he is at the plate. It was an exhausting and surreal experience all at the same time! I imagine these international competitions are a real treat for the fans. All the opposing fan bases get to come together, learn the chants of normally opposing players and sing them together as a collective Japanese fan base for the first time.
I love how when Ohtani hit the homer, he went back to the dugout to give everyone high 5’s. All these other teams be doing too much when they do something good. Everyone runs out the dugout, beating their chests, and it only be the second inning lol. Passing around the ball was awesome to witness. Props to the fans!
Needs to believe in himself a little more. I would say i wish we had hendricks, but i'd rather him at home or wherever he is getting better and recovering. Wish him well
I am Japanese. Nootbaar is very popular in Japan now. Defensively full of fighting spirit, good batting, running bases with all his might, and a cheerful and friendly personality. He is now an integral part of the Japanese national team. It's hard to go back to America after the WBC is over. I love nootbaar because he has a really good personality. I'm worried that he might get hurt by being too enthusiastic about the WBC.
Japanese culture is so polite. I am thankful for the home run just so fans could share in the excitement. (They are looking at the ball as if it dropped glowing from the sky tho.) 😅
Japan's lineup is like an amazing Allstar Team. The Pitcher Yamamoto throws unhittable pitches! Japan's batting order is solid from the Leadoff to the last batter. It looks like the Championship might be Japan vs China the Way that they're ranked! I have only watched this video and China beating the Italian team (that was fun to watch). This is still my favorite game. I love all sports, but there is so many things that make Baseball special in my opinion and to see that a game originally started in the United States (I live in Cincinnati Ohio) has taken on an International interest, with Cheering fans. Well, it just makes me wish that the World was more like Sports vs War. Sports brings good people and talent all together.
You're right. Only Américan football 🏈 remains isolated in only one country. The NFL should learn from the NBA and MLB and try to expand their game to the rest of the world
Ohtani hit that home run ball so hard in the 1st inning you could see the pitchers soul go with it but if you're gonna give up a 3 run home run don't feel too bad if Ohtani is the one you gave it up to

@@bunkydamonkey1225 If we actually had young guys who would play our pitching would crush them.
@@bunkydamonkey1225 yeah, the us has no pitching, sadly. japan and dr in the finals.
Japan really dominated this round!
“Sheriff, his curveball is his best pitch, tremendous bite downward.”
Shohei Ohtani proceeds to hit his curveball into space for a 3-run homer
a hanger for sure
Yeah unfortunate for the pitcher, that one pitch specifically was just hanging meatball
Good pitcher's best pitch, meet best baseball player on the planet.
🤣😂
Yeah, his best pitch was his worst pitch when he left it hanging like a personal invitation for Ohtani to blast it out of the park. We'd been waiting for an Ohtani bomb, and the Australian pitcher served it up. No longer the sheriff in town.
As a Cardinals fan, I have so many teams to cheer for this WBC. Noot (and Shohei, even if he's not a Cardinal... yet), Arenado and Goldschmidt, I had Edman with Korea for a bit... fun stuff all around.
?
O’Neil Canada, also Waino and Mikolas team USA, Gallegos Mexico, Pallante Italy, Genesis Dominican Republic there are so many also we have some of our minor league guys on rosters too
He’s never gonna be a Cardinal btw
Japan looking unstoppable at this point. USA and Dominican Republic were seen as the other best teams going in, and DR lost to Venezuela, US struggled against Great Britain. Gonna be a surprise if anyone but Japan wins it all.
What makes you think Venezuela wasn't good enough to beat The Dominican republic?
@@CCQ75 Venezuela is simply strong.
The 3 run homer from Ohtani in the first inning was the “shock and awe” against Australia 😂
Is this the first home run hitter to hit a billboard with his face on it?🤣
Japanese crowd politely go after the Ohtani home run ball, and then pass it around for photo opps.
SAMURAI JAPAN🇯🇵🗾
0:38 Ohtani's 3-run homer in the 1st inning crushed Australia's will to fight.
Not really. I think it was more the 97 mph fastballs and unhittable splitters 😂
You cant crush an Australians will to fight
@@mastermph1423 I just witnessed one example today tho
@_ If I know Aussies they will soon forget the game and be enjoying the food & drink in Tokyo pretty quickly.
I don’t think that ball landed yet that was a different ball they were passing around
I’m liking this Japan squad. Coming from the USA.
If you ever visit Japan, attending a pro baseball game is a must. I had the good fortune of seeing a Hanshin Tiger's game at Koshien Stadium in Osaka. When the home team is up to bat, everyone is on their feet singing and chanting the batter's designated song the entire time he is at the plate. It was an exhausting and surreal experience all at the same time!
I imagine these international competitions are a real treat for the fans. All the opposing fan bases get to come together, learn the chants of normally opposing players and sing them together as a collective Japanese fan base for the first time.
Respect for Australia
BEAUTIFUL.
I love how when Ohtani hit the homer, he went back to the dugout to give everyone high 5’s. All these other teams be doing too much when they do something good. Everyone runs out the dugout, beating their chests, and it only be the second inning lol.
Passing around the ball was awesome to witness. Props to the fans!

ngl Yamamoto delivered an absolute pitching GEM💎 tonight and was actually better than any Japanese starter who made appearance in this round.
He is supposed to be the ace so makes sense
I still think it's wild that Nootbaar is half Japanese and allowed to play for Japan. But anyway, let's go Nooooooot!
I love the Australian pitcher doesn't even look at the whereabouts of the ball that was crashed by Ohtani.😂
Needs to believe in himself a little more. I would say i wish we had hendricks, but i'd rather him at home or wherever he is getting better and recovering. Wish him well
crushed
The equivalent of a batter in cricket not looking back at his stumps when they are cartwheeling into the next postcode.
Good Luck 👍 🇱🇰
We Expecting Sri Lanka Also Joined 👍
Yamamoto was insane, 8 k’s in 4 innings. Japan is legit.
Probably he'll go to MLB after 2023 season.
I am Japanese. Nootbaar is very popular in Japan now. Defensively full of fighting spirit, good batting, running bases with all his might, and a cheerful and friendly personality. He is now an integral part of the Japanese national team. It's hard to go back to America after the WBC is over. I love nootbaar because he has a really good personality. I'm worried that he might get hurt by being too enthusiastic about the WBC.
Japanese culture is so polite. I am thankful for the home run just so fans could share in the excitement. (They are looking at the ball as if it dropped glowing from the sky tho.) 😅
Thank you for saying so. Australian is polite as well.
That’s because it did
日本製のボールと、アメリカ製のボールは違います。
WBC用のボールは、アメリカ製のボールでWBCのマークが入っています。
この後、転売防止の為に回収されます。
だから記念に撮影しているのでしょう。
(引き換えに、ホームランを打った選手のサイン入りの何かの商品を貰えます。)
アメリカ製のボールは、縫い目が浅くツルツルとして滑りやすく、1つ1つのボールの湿度コントロールが必要です。
一方、日本製のボールは、アメリカ製のボールとは違い、全てのボールの重量が厳重に統一されていて、日本の特許の技術で、皮の部分に特殊な技法で油脂を染み込ませているので、縫い目がアメリカ製よりも微妙に深く、湿度調節もする必要が無いので、アメリカ製のボールよりも価格が高いです。
そういう理由でホームランだとしても回収されます。
日本製のボールは、東京オリンピックに出場したアメリカの選手が、日本製のボールの作りに感動して、複数個持ち帰った様です。
lots of asian hate crimes in australia ....go watch the news
Like in 🇺🇲 too, if is an important homerun, the ball can cost millions. 😁 Thats polite also.

Japan's lineup is like an amazing Allstar Team. The Pitcher Yamamoto throws unhittable pitches! Japan's batting order is solid from the Leadoff to the last batter. It looks like the Championship might be Japan vs China the Way that they're ranked! I have only watched this video and China beating the Italian team (that was fun to watch). This is still my favorite game. I love all sports, but there is so many things that make Baseball special in my opinion and to see that a game originally started in the United States (I live in Cincinnati Ohio) has taken on an International interest, with Cheering fans. Well, it just makes me wish that the World was more like Sports vs War. Sports brings good people and talent all together.
You're right. Only Américan football 🏈 remains isolated in only one country. The NFL should learn from the NBA and MLB and try to expand their game to the rest of the world
Tatuji×Kondoh×Ohtani

Ohtani hit that home run ball so hard in the 1st inning you could see the pitchers soul go with it but if you're gonna give up a 3 run home run don't feel too bad if Ohtani is the one you gave it up to
Japanese team is the toughest to beat. They are just too good. 👏
Team japan is too strong in WBC. Pitchers have incredible pitching speed and ball control. I dont have any idea any other countries beat Japan.
That is because unlike the Americans, their best players care more about winning for their country than for a professional club. For them the biggest achievement is to be WORLD Champions with their national team. Then their second biggest achievement is to win the MLB world series. Not the other way around. American Players only care about their professional clubs. Never about their country
